A 14-year-old boy was arrested on Monday as a suspect in a terrorist attack after a man was stabbed and wounded in Jerusalem's Old City.
Israeli medics rushed to the scene and provided medical treatment to the victim, a 17-year-old male, who was stabbed near the Western Wall. He was fully conscious and in moderate condition, medics said.
Police forces arrested the 14-year-old suspect, a resident of the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Shuafat, and found a knife at the scene. Full circumstances of the case were under investigation and additional details will follow.
The region is experiencing a major resurgence of tensions as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan approaches. Last week, a terrorist rammed with his car and killed three people, including two children, in Jerusalem, while also wounding several others.
